book shades

booka shade's fourth album 'more!' was released a couple of weeks ago.. did you check it out? after a less than excited reception, you might be forgiven for missing it..
despite that, i felt like there were a few high points on the album - the melodious, understated 'teenage spaceman' was a triumph, and loungey bouncefest 'the door' certainly was enjoyable..
their selection for first single however was 'bad love' which is very nearly ruined by some over-earnest vocals.. it is a lush piece of work though- probably worth checking out.

as to be expected, there were a glut of quality tech-house artists contributing remixes to the 'bad love' single package, but the one that really caught my eye was this little effort from french heroes cassius.
i came into it expecting an upbeat french-house jam, but was pleasantly surprised by a jacking tech-spliced house number.. i really should have known better after youth, speed, trouble, cigarettes..

the other remixes in the package are rather entertaining as well. joe & will ask and azari & iii turned some banging versions (azari & iii in particular are really impressing at the moment), but this synthy, swirly tech-house interpretation from kaiserdisco has spent some serious time in my headphones today..
